## Transcript

New damning evidence has been discovered against the English voice actor of Rudis Greyrat from Musha Kutensei, spiraling into the situation that I want to be talking about today. But yesterday, it was discovered in a subreddit that the voice actor was pro-censorship and pro-desecration of Japanese works being translated into English,
and it eventually spiraled into the point to where a clip was discovered that I want to play for you right now, completely unedited. The first question is... Oh, they also asked about standards for translation and localization. Correct. That is very...
That's a whole hour-long lecture that somebody smarter than I should answer for you. But I will actually... Can I drop somebody's Twitter account in the chat real quick? Absolutely.
Feel free. There is a localizer that I have been following on Twitter for a bit who tweets very good threads. Oh, yeah. People are like, I need to watch the full dub now. I'm sold fully, completely.
I'm so happy it's in good sands. Join us! So it's Katrina L. Translator on Twitter. She is a localization specialist. She's a genius.
And she has really good threads on localization and translation standards in manga Oh wow So for clarification the woman within the clip is the voice actor of Rudis Greyrat the English voice actor and the guy that you see in the video has the face
he was the one that was interviewing the VA. The localizer that the VA mentioned is a very well-known, infamous localizer that has been ruining translations and defending butchering of Japanese works for years.
She's so infamous that she even has a popular meme created about her that has circulated online for years. You can also see many examples I'll show right now on screen of her purposely adding in Zoomer language to be trendy and to seek out a targeted audience. This is code for modern
audience. Katrina has also argued against a Hmong offer being upset with their work being mistranslated. I would show the original tweet, but after a series of controversies, Katrina has locked her account down and has privated it. However, a loophole to this is actually Gronk
that can still pull the tweets to give you links and what it says. Eventually, even Seven Seas, after the whole arguing with the manga translator, Seven Seas had to issue a public apology for the mistranslation and acknowledge the screw-up.
Continuing on, she is even forced in a non-binary character to Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels, and despite all these obvious ways to butcher Japanese culture deforestation propaganda and politics and changes to the original works She was rewarded a job as a localization director by a major video game company
and is moving to Tokyo. This was announced back in September of 2025. It's been almost a year since this happened, once again proving how the parasites are infiltrating inside to change everything. Now that we know who Katrina is as a person, we can shift back into the English VA
of Rudis Grey Rats and how they were praising this person I just talked about. You can't say the stuff Katrina did was after Madeline praised her in this interview, because the interview was two years ago, dating back to 2024,
and a lot of these screenshots are from 2021 through 2024, so we can assume by the language used from Madeline's own mouth that she was actively following her for a while and reading her threads.
Now, why is this relevant is because, obviously, yesterday, it was discovered that the VA was very likely pro-censorship and pro-butchering of Japanese to English translations. With this recent clip surfacing, it gives more credibility to the accusations against her.
Now, I do think it's important to acknowledge the follow-up statement, however, that the VA made after my video came out yesterday. She did get pressured to make a half statement but never outright picked a side Now this is making me believe this is an act of eternal pressure within the industry with her associates to likely say face that she
working on such a problematic show like Mushikutensei. Regardless, the fact she doesn't outright condemn how subreddit is calling everyone that watches Mushikutensei pedophiles is still not a good look no matter how you try to spin the situation. Also, these screenshots here
or the moderators on the subreddit where this all began. This is how they feel about you, the Mushkutense fans. This is what the VA was defending too. Keep this all in mind. So we now have two tallies on the chart
with her defending a mod team that calls everyone pedos and her defending a localizer that has been happy to ruin translations for many years. I'm not even getting into the fact that the VA of Rudis Greyrat
is pro-trans kids, which I've already said is an act of grooming, and when you apply this to how Katrina forced in a non-binary character within a game through localization and how the person that is pro-trans kids
is defending the said localizer that has forced in non-binaries into a game I think it's very clear what's going on here this could be technically another whole tally I could add to the graph if I really wanted to
for now I leave it at that may you all have a fantastic day and leave a like on the video if you enjoyed it Chibi out
